Hazel selfbow

Finished off a lovely little 70lb hazel bow today, here are some detail photos.

The horn sidenocks are made from local cow horn, and glued to the bow tips with Isinglass (fish glue) which is incredibly strong when it goes off. The bow still has it's cambium along the back making for a really cool finish, especially when brought out using oil and wax.
